Epistemology of Aesthetics Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Item not Available

Description

The ideas of "art as research" and "research as art" have risen over the past two decades as important critical focuses for the philosophy of media, aesthetics, and art.

Of particular interest is how the methodologies of art and science might be merged to create a better conceptual understanding of art-based research.

In Epistemology of Aesthetics, Dieter Mersch deconstructs and displaces the terminology that typically accompanies the question of the relationship between art and scientific truth.

Identifying artistic practices as modes of thought that do not make use of language in a way that can easily be translated into scientific discourse, Mersch advocates for an aesthetic mode of thought beyond the "linguistic turn," a way of thinking that cannot be substituted by any other disciplinary system.

Features a sophisticated reflection on the epistemological status of the aesthetic by one of Germany's leading philosophers, Epistemology of Aesthetics will be of great interest within this growing field of study.
